Gacha Outfits

Be careful, Captain! AichanWhale

Please see Professor Lyo's summary [here](#👶beginner-help message) Regarding Gacha (Pyramid) outfits.

Gacha (Pyramid) Outfits

  • DO NOT PULL UNLESS YOU CAN HARD PITY. NON-NEGOTIABLE.
    • You need 9600 Crystal or 7680 Crystal if there is a discount.
  • No competitive benefit.

ooh icic. I've kind of already planned my priority listing but I wasn't sure of how much crystals I could max out! Thank you so much!! SakuraLuv

Guys, I'm a returnee, and now I'm saving for the next valk (she's the reason I'm back) I'm at 30k crystal am I save or not, planning to get the valk, and if possible the full equipment.

#

Last time I've played is from.... Argent knight release perhaps?

please spoiler tag ||mei|| since this is not known in glb yet

#

maybe give this a brisk to know what has changed since you last played. Mainly the equipment banner section

grizzled raven

#

but tldr, stigs are no longer gacha only. You only need valk and weapon.
Valk pity is 90 rolls now but we do get a half discount on the first 10x roll so it's more like 85 rolls in cost.
Weapon pity is 60.

So putting that together you're looking at 145 rolls. It takes 280 crystals per roll so you can math from there.

#

We're still kind of early in the patch so you're probably safe with 30k crystals as long as you keep playing to get up to 40k. Be mindful of anything else you may want to get though.

#

=====
also team building has changed tremendously since you last played. Back in part 1 we build teams around damage elements and characters generally have very specific roles. Now we go by the astral ring system and any valk can be a dps or a support depending on how they fit in the team

Astral Ring and Specializations

Allow me to explain, Captain! AichanCool

Click here to view a list of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them!

Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:

  • the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
  • the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
  • the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).

For information on each Astral Ring Specialization:

Read this for more details

#

the important thing is, just because you get the next new valk doesn't mean you'll be able to play her properly if you don't have matching teammates.

Tbh if your account is from that long ago you might want to consider restarting a new account. It's ok if you don't want to though.

If you are fine with restarting, we can discuss plans on how you can prep to have a full team for the next valk.

wraith oasis
#

My old account was from tw server

spiral badge
#

HoT is very out of date now. She doesn't have astral ring and was already outclassed by Lunar Vow even at max potential

#

Nowadays nearly all new teams have astral ring though. So anything without astral ring (especially anything farmable) is not going to be meta. Meta is important because competing against other players in abyss well gives you a lot of crystals

#

you don't need anything to clear story. Early story is very weak while later story forces characters on you regardless if you own them or not.

Meta wise story is just a source of crystals. It's not a measure of account progress.

wraith oasis
#

Yea, i didn't know, but still, i like her, so that's okay. I'm pretty casual, so I'm not chasing abyss too much. I do get Dreamweaver though. Should I build her?

spiral badge
#

If you're more casual then meta isn't going to matter as much but HI3 is a game where a middle of both can exists.

As long as you're aware of the trade offs I can still tell you how to build older valkyries. I can even tell you how to build them cheaply/afforrdably or to a max degree.

Metawise again i don't recommend building non astral ring valkyries too greatly. DW is no exception really

wraith oasis
#

These are my valks

spiral badge
#

HoHE is going to be farmable in war treasury next patch. The only valk i would be wary of losing here is DW if you care about her if you want to consider restarting but again this is not required.

Can you show me your stigmatas and weapons too? The purple and gold rarities are fine.

wraith oasis
spiral badge
#

HoT's best gears are going to be handel set which is a G4 from foundry.

If you want something cheap, use edison set but this is far weaker.

Early game may have given you darwin set. Do not use it. It is the next generation of lightning dps stigs so to speak but its effects are very impractical to use and it costs alot more to upgrade.

#

Her best weapon is 7 thunders of retribution which is obtainable from reserve works battle pass shop

#

for teammates, ideal ones might be lunar vow and golden diva (eden). Maybe the recent Schicksal's Imperative Theresa too but i'm not sure about this. Herrscher of Truth is also a notable candidate.

But you don't have much of those. GD needs her weapon too.

On a budget you can consider Valkyrie Blastmetal (VBm Coralie), Reverist Calico (Pardofelis, RC), fischl (PV), Valkyrie Boltstorm (Helia VBs)

Immutable Crystallums

Hey there, Captain! AichanBlink

Crystallums are a Battle Pass Currency that can be exchanged for Valkyries and Equipment in the Reserve Works. Captains who purchase Knight or Paladin BP can also access the BP Works of that patch for 3 versions.

There are 3 BP tiers offering different amounts of Crystallums as follows:
-# The totals below account for the 2 Crystallums in the Dorm Shop.

  • Vanguard (F2P) BP: 5 per patch
  • Knight BP: 18 per patch
  • Paladin BP: 24 per patch

It is recommended to spend your Crystallums on Divine Keys that you have yet to collect for permanent account-wide ATK bonuses. See the list [here](#👶beginner-help message).

spiral badge
#

sorry please continue. This faq is something you can look at later

wraith oasis
#

Iirc I'm using mag thunder pri, monet (t) the other two i forgot. HoReason is more equipped though. I gave her cyclops, scott (t), scott(m) Rasputin (b)

#

How stupi, i can check from hoyo lab

spiral badge
#

Monet T is better than Edison at least so sure you can keep that on

#

mag ty too if you dont' have any of her signature weapons

#

i'm not sure why i'm seeing the other two stigs there. Beware that newer stigmatas are craftable but are hyper specific to their intended users

#

did you get these from opening boxes? You may consider leaving those boxes alone in the future

Free Stigmata Boxes

Hey, Captain! AichanBlush

In Honkai Impact 3rd Part 2, most new Valkyries will have a Stigma Option box given for free! But when should you use them?

If you are pulling for the corresponding weapon, you should open the box AFTER you have 2 different pieces of that stigmata set already. These stigma boxes are optimally used to finish a stigmata set. This also applies to Part 1 stigmata boxes, if you have any.

If you...

  • Obtained the weapon before you got at least 2 stigmata set pieces, stop pulling! Open the box to get the best piece and then craft any missing stigmata (you can find these in Foundry).
  • Already got the full stigmata set before the weapon (there are high chances that you did), keep the box as a collectible or open it, select a random stigma and salvage it for Source Prism.
  • Are skipping or have skipped the corresponding weapon but want to get the Stigmata set, open the box first for the best piece then craft the other two via Foundry.
  • Skipped the weapon and do not intend to craft the Stigmata set, you have no urgent reason to open the box, so keep it.

Regarding Bronya: N-EX, you can open the box once you own T or B and use it to finish TB. M is not BiS on SW.

wraith oasis
spiral badge
#

In the future ideally leave the boxes alone for the reasons the faq described. Not really a big deal though

#

and the 59 atk

#

note how everything else after is specific to HLE

#

meanwhile the durandal piece at max only gives 10 total damage

wraith oasis
#

Yes, that's why pick that one, because at least the standard passive is good AichanLol

#

I'm still farming the m stigma

spiral badge
#

it's not really good though, and you paid 14 source prisms to max these which are kind of hard to get early on

#

edison might give something close but at far cheaper of a cost

#

anyway i'm not here to cry over spilled milk. I just want to demonstrate to you so you can be mindful of similar considerations in the future

#

since they're already maxed i suppose you can use them for now until you get something better

#

We're digressing alot though. From what i understand you seem quite ||Mei focused and maybe we can discuss her other forms too (like HoO?). However all these old meis can be obtained in not costly ways over time. We should more focus on the new valk for now||

wraith oasis
#

Oh, no worries. I am farming to get the rest stigmas, but seeing that she's outdated. Should I spent cysrtallums for her weapon? That's I'm aiming for

#

I do planning on getting HoO, but I'll leave that to next, one step at a time AichanLol

spiral badge
#

7 thunders is worth getting but not for actual usage reasons. It's only good now as a divine key which can passively give you stats from the dorm menu (+10 atk)

#

but i mean if you're just focused on mei then sure prioritize it first

spiral badge
#

so we should really be focusing on how you can get these supports

#

i do have a few suggestions but one of them is going to be restarting your account.

I also want to ask where in the game do you plan to use these valks the most?

  • Abyss is usually the main focus
  • story you won't be able to use your own stuff a majority of the time. If you just want to run around late story mode maps with your own valks then that's fine but ||one of my plans is to get lunar vow, and she won't be available here in late story||
#

I'm going to post something in a different channel and ping you there

@sweet flax master is this the right setup?

sweet flax
#

master is wild

#

what are you going for, astral ring or not

sweet flax
fallow saddle
#

so i got JDS from the free pulls from starter banner how can i use her

#

the only valks i have that use astral ring rn are vita and boom kiana

spiral badge
#

how much do you understand astral ring team building? Do you know what do the ring type and tags of each of your valks mean?

#

which of these valks have their weapons? Gacha weapons are generally important. However for these valks, i wouldn't recommend catching up on them anymore with crystals. Save them for newer releases.

#

So astral ring valks are multifunctional. They can be a dps or a support depending on how the team is organized.

Signature weapons are important for personal damage. usually 30-40%. Basically without weapons, you're not really looking to use them as a dps unless you really have nothing else better.

#

Obviously your JDS doesn't have her weapon (again i don't recommend catching up on it), so while JDS leader with Vita and VBm Coralie can be a team, you're prob better off with something else.

fallow saddle
#

all my characters have their weapons except JDS ofc

spiral badge
#

Ok the main team you're going to be running is probably FWS main dps with JDS and Vita as supports

alr tysm so ig saving for next patch rn would be better than getting jds weapon

spiral badge
#

yeah

#

at this point JDS is kinda old so her use cases aren't as great or plentiful

#

when spending crystals you generally want as much long term mileage as possible, so generally the advice is to focus on new releases (valk and weapon together. No need for dupes)

thx again tho

the pins thing i always forget whats in there

so im only missing TA for this team, should i still go for SSS VBm and S VBs or should i go TA to complete the team?

serene crystal
#

You generally want to buy out at least VBm fragments each week as you can buy fewer of the fragments of astral ring valks.
VBs isn't that important

#

Getting TA fragments first is also fine.

sturdy galleon
#

so, i should buy out the 25 VBm and then invest on getting TA

#

thx for the help! ill get on with farming then

#

im just missing some damage to get the 2 stages im missing of QManifold for manual

sturdy galleon
#

Hey any guidance of the Foundry?

#

Either im blind or i see nothing on the pins

but ive been checking around and apparently i also have to craft the rest for other characters?

#

these are the ones im looking for if it helps

shell basin
#

Fu Hua Musician is from starter manual

#

Gluttony T is craftable tho yeah

sturdy galleon

so i guess im not getting those yet

shell basin
#

It’s in the training shop

#

Specifically

sturdy galleon
#

OH

#

Theres so much stuff, i forgot this existed 😭

shell basin
#

Your crafting priority is like

  • Theresa Gluttony T
  • Rouald Amusen 3pc
  • Tsiolkovsky if you have a lot of spare prisms (enough for next patch + maxed all gacha stigs)
  • Maybe Attila B if you’re using a lot of HoV dps
#

Everything else is niche or expensive enough it’s not a priority

#

Until you have a ton of mats spare

sturdy galleon
#

1 more quick question

shell basin
#

Shoot

sturdy galleon
#

i need these to craft stigmatas, but currently i can only get the 2 im missing through asterite (400 for both to be exact)

#

should i buy those or just focus on getting fragments with asterite

shell basin
#

You can get them from story or open world or weekly quiz or such

#

I wouldn’t spend asterite on them

#

Since once you craft gluttony you mostly don’t use them for anything and instead break them down into asterite

#

If it takes another day to get gluttony it’s not a big deal

sturdy galleon
#

Great then :D ill advance a bit more inthe story to get those 2 i need

#

turns out the mission i have to do rn gives me 1 so it wont take long since i get the 2nd

At the same time that also feels a bit like a time waste for Vbm buffs so VelionaShrug

Hey,i have a question,i just pulled Miss Espionage,and i was wondering if i NEED to pull for her weapon(51 before guaranteed)or should i pull instead in the returnee event which includes Jovial deception since i am at 38 before guaranteed

shell basin
#

Miss Espionage is much better than JDS these days

#

but if you love JDS that could take priority over meta for you

ancient needle
frozen crypt
ancient needle
#

Still massive ofc

#

Thele was the only extreme one with 60%

#

JDS is not worth getting atp

#

Use only free pulls there

restive jewel
#

So she can’t be used as a support for Miss Espionage?The only supports that i have that fit her attributes are Cosmic Expression for the lighting support,and Valkyrie Boltstorm since they both have the same special attribute
The problem is,they are both still at A ranks

serene crystal
#

They don't really fit as they don't have the correct astral ring tag.

abstract sequoia
#

we usually suggest planning for future valkyries instead, every patch usually gives just enough crystals to be able to afford them

#

and as a beginner you have a ton of extra crystals sources to go through

#

In the meantime it's fine to use supports that don't directly support Miss Espionage's astral ring type. Valkyrie Blastmetal (VBm) is your best early game valk for that case, the third slot can be either Boltstorm (VBs) or one of the p1 supports that are generally alright like Pardofelis RC (Reverist Calico)

#

VBs because she primarily provides lightning dmg buffs

#

RC has a total dmg taken debuff on enemies by casting purple combo atk or ult

shell basin
#

VBS also gives stellar drain which is nice

serene crystal
#

Next patch is also expected to be somewhat more expensive then normal so having a bit extra crystals for that one is a very reasonable idea.
In practice the choice is between the better long term value play which is no backpulling and the better short term play which gives you a team right now but leaves you with units which aren't going to do much reasonably soon.

restive jewel
#

oh okay,good to know,i’ll soon have enough of ancient willpower to pick Azure Empyrea,since in their guide description,it says that she is a element support,so i could choose her to make Espionage stronger,and by that,i could also replace Boltstorm since i imagine that she is pretty outdated nowadays

abstract sequoia
#

AE is more outdated than Boltstorm though

Oh,she is?so is boltstorm better then?

AE is not that good in comparison because of her kit issues more than her buffing capability

abstract sequoia
#

so don't worry, as long as you do your starter manual and growth regimen

abstract sequoia
restive jewel
#

About that,i am not really a “Beginner”i joined at 2022,but since then,i kept quitting and rejoining every year,so sadly,i don’t think that i have the starter manual

sweet flax
restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

mhm

#

that's the majority of one time crystal income

#

so hope is not lost, assuming you really want to keep playing on the same account

#

and at that point, might as well try

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

should be enough yeah

#

!faq crystals

small willowBOT
abstract sequoia
#

consider this your checklist

#

also

#

!faq calc

small willowBOT
abstract sequoia
#

to calculate daily and weekly income on top of the one time stuff

#

either way, glad to have you back

#

just be aware that building teams to redlotus level of ready takes time, like multiple patches

restive jewel
# small willow

I didn’t knew that sakura world gives that much crystal 😭

#

oh and one last question that i have in mind

abstract sequoia
#

patience is key and not skipping weapon is also important

#

ask as many as you need

restive jewel
#

in the war treasury,which characters do you recommend?

abstract sequoia
#

valks in ER first

#

for the shallow sequence, valk level and ego signet collection crystals

abstract sequoia
#

we've all been there

#

chilling in agony is also fine, see high agony as your current goal

#

BiS isn't necessary to retain RL in most cases

#

just have an on-brand team. you want to fill as many niches as necessary with your pulls

#

with rita: imaginary, lightning, paralyze and wheel of destiny dps would be filled for you already

#

the next valk will fill more slots, being a suitable support for your previous valks is a bonus

abstract sequoia
small willowBOT
abstract sequoia
#

another faq for that with more details

#

aside from er farming

restive jewel
shell basin
#

Ranks on War treasury valks are also not very useful

#

except for PWO farming

abstract sequoia
#

war treasury is just for farming PWO, ER and Dorm lvls

serene crystal
#

Also meaningful for Dorm tasks as you need one for each stat at SS

abstract sequoia
#

ehh

#

I'd put that in low priority

#

but yeah

serene crystal
#

Yes, but the same can be said of PWO

abstract sequoia
#

oh yeah PWO is just the endgame use

#

for which you need to SSS WT valks in order to get them from fragment conversion

#

so choosing the cheapest option is important for that

#

dorm lvls only give xp until SS though

#

for WT valks that is

restive jewel
#

So if i understand correctly,they are not really useful,so it’s better to just get the cheapest one so i could level up my dorm?

abstract sequoia
#

yeah, unlock them all first

#

an extra bonus, they wont show up as "new" valks in dorm supply anymore

#

so you're getting actually otherwise unobtainable valks

sweet flax
#

Ram

serene crystal
#

See which ones are in ER first some of them are not and are therefore really low priority

abstract sequoia
restive jewel
#

What does ER stands for?

abstract sequoia
#

no I'm not suggesting dorm supply pulls

shell basin
#

elysian realm

sweet flax
shell basin
#

it unlocks at level 50

restive jewel
shell basin
#

gives weekly crystals and also a lot of 1 time crystals

sweet flax
abstract sequoia
#

hey c:

#

hope you're doing well asu

sweet flax
#

I am, booking flights back to dl finally going home soon

abstract sequoia
#

ooo

#

so you were on vacation until now

restive jewel
#

btw,why do i have to choose those that are in ER?

sweet flax
shell basin
sweet flax
#

Basically work was pushed online and I wanted to visit family Dorysia

#

Now im forced to go back

shell basin
#

if you unlock them in the elysian realm. There's no rush on it

#

but eventually you want them all and to get like 620 crystals each

restive jewel
#

ohhh,so it gives me more crystal then,got it

sweet flax
#

Want me to bring you anything

#

Lol

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
abstract sequoia
#

per airplane drop? xd

sweet flax
restive jewel
#

But in deep sequence,i can only beat it at void,which barely gives me any crystal,so idk how do i get passed that

sweet flax
#

Even vbm

abstract sequoia
#

part 2 valks are cheating

sweet flax
#

Also getting the right signets

abstract sequoia
#

okay not necessarily

sweet flax
abstract sequoia
#

4/4 part 2 is cheating

sweet flax
#

Anyone after 5.0 basically

abstract sequoia
#

like, some p2 valks without weapon are restricted to one of their playstyles

restive jewel
# sweet flax Any geared valk does well

what i hate about deep sequence,is that i have to bring my own valkyries,which they are only lvl 61 compared to the trials ones that are lvl 80,so i deal barely any damage

abstract sequoia
#

but they can beat finality

shell basin
#

and max skills

abstract sequoia
#

skills are also maxed

shell basin
#

its mostly a gear difference I assume

#

they have stigs and weapons and u dont.

abstract sequoia
#

ER really shows how much difference gear makes

shell basin
#

you can switch over generic stigmas like peary to whoever your using, or ideally use valkyries like VBM whose gear you have

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

vbm and vbs are comfy clearers, even on finality

shell basin
abstract sequoia
#

it mentions the lvl 80 thing

restive jewel
#

Well i have HoT on Edison set,idk if that’s good enough

shell basin
#

edison is not great

abstract sequoia
#

on s0, finality isn't fun

shell basin
#

could be worse tho

abstract sequoia
#

you can clear up until inferno with it though

#

best ER signets are the non-ult focused ones that enhance 4th and 5th basic attack

#

the ult focused ones only pop off if you get seven thunder for HoT

restive jewel
sweet flax
shell basin
#

yeah atk scales directly

#

thats why cope pri arms and such

abstract sequoia
shell basin
#

work okay

abstract sequoia
#

i mean, lvl 35 wep and edison should be winnable

sweet flax
abstract sequoia
#

an extreme example

sweet flax
#

15 minutes wtf

abstract sequoia
#

older ER though

#

idk how old it has to be where it was super hardcore hard

sweet flax
#

Bro refuses to pick up 3 signets or what

#

Imagine not abusing old aponia and griseo

abstract sequoia
#

it's better that he didn't

#

because that makes this technically still viable

#

you can do much better of course

#

also lower difficulty means faster clears, obviously

restive jewel
sweet flax
#

Dont you have rita

abstract sequoia
#

not 1 by 1

sweet flax
#

Or did I misread the convo here

abstract sequoia
#

ER signets had different effects in 2022

#

compared to today

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

rita but no wep

restive jewel
#

yeah i just got her

abstract sequoia
#

and f2p scythes suck ass

restive jewel
#

so sadly she isn’t build yet

shell basin
#

Can just use VBM

sweet flax
#

Its 2.25x at most i dont think you need weapon for er

shell basin
#

VBM is broken

abstract sequoia
#

vbm IS broken yes

#

the non-ar build that is

restive jewel
shell basin
#

valkyrie blastmetal

#

mini coralie

sweet flax
restive jewel
#

ohhh the one that is A rank? is she good?

abstract sequoia
sweet flax
#

Since iirc none of Rita's kit is locked behind weapon aside from the img thing

shell basin
sweet flax
#

Da wei help scythe

shell basin
#

with the ARC build

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

out of nowhere

shell basin
#

from p2 story

#

very early on

restive jewel
sweet flax
abstract sequoia
#

p2 chapter 1 specifically

shell basin
sweet flax
#

Vbm? Her weapon is in story

shell basin
#

her and her wep both

sweet flax
#

You can rank her up via asterite shop too

abstract sequoia
#

vbm dupe and her wep are literally the first 2 unlocks

restive jewel
restive jewel
#

i’m saved

abstract sequoia
#

the first 3 chapters are entirely disconnected from previous story

sweet flax
abstract sequoia
restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

up until the end of chapter 3 where p1 and p1.5 context really helps to understand

shell basin
#

which is also good

restive jewel
#

even at A rank?

#

i could also try ranking her to S but i’ll be broke on asterites

shell basin
#

yes

#

VBM is the best free support bar none

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
# restive jewel okay thank good

just a heads-up, the "events" tab in those 3 chapters are very disorganized. see this for reading order, although consider that it includes time-limited events as well that ran back then (e.g. A Feast Sought in Data and Flying to Oxia), nothing too story critical was time-limited thankfully
https://honkaiimpact3.fandom.com/wiki/User:Haps_Vier?profile=no#Extinguished_Starlight_and_Rekindled_Fire

Honkai Impact 3 Wiki

Note: This order is personal opinion on when and what players should experience. To follow this order or not is completely up to you.About skipping: It is not recommended to skip any part, if...

#

tl:dr: play "Banquet Dance of Shade" after chapter 1, some of the last story chapters are also listed in that events menu

#

we previously had new players who were confused af with how it looks ingame

restive jewel
#

But since it’s a new completely different story,i imagine that they aren’t really connected from part 1?

shell basin
#

it connects later on

#

but not for a while

abstract sequoia
#

ch 1-3 is like a deep dive into the new cast of characters

#

and only focuses on those

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

people assumed the p1 cast would be abandoned but that didn't turn out to be true

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

not really, part 1 concluded

#

p1.5 was also it's own thing and kinda ended

#

p2 plays after 1.5 chronologically, before APHO though

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

it was mostly fearmongering

#

the truth is nobody knew for certain

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

and hoyo keeps doing p1 character releases as astral ring releases, as you can see from Rita

abstract sequoia
restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

like 7.3 was my first patch

#

p2 release

#

it didn't stop me from enjoying p1 as well

restive jewel
#

so you started at p2 instead of 1? that’s insane,because back then,when part 2 just started i heard that it was so “bad” that people were quitting because of it

abstract sequoia
#

that being said, events are pretty much spoiler free

#

no matter how much you know about part 2, you can enjoy all of them without knowing anything besides who character x is

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

yes.

#

voyage log keeps all of the previous patch main events, since 7.8

#

the only thing that gets cut are the reward shops and some limited-time rewards

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

it's not replayable, so yeah you would've regretted skipping

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

oh no you do get crystals

shell basin
#

just less

restive jewel
#

ohhhh okay then

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

and all of the gameplay remains intact, besides online versus and leaderboards

abstract sequoia
#

xd

restive jewel
#

yeah ;-;

abstract sequoia
#

chapter 2 being just a glorified tutorial

restive jewel
#

like at first,it was so bad for me,i genuinely thought that the story was going to be bad for the rest of the game 💔

abstract sequoia
#

i mean at least the first few chapter 1 missions are a nice introduction

#

but yeah, early p1 is mixed and i think it's why a lot of new players judge early and quit

#

i always imagined they could make players start into p2, by choice of course

#

like a first selection screen when you create your account

#

instead p2 needs level 30 to even begin

restive jewel
#

thankfully,i joined in late 2022,so the story was already really good

shell basin
#

feels like every old gacha game with a good story is dragged down by a sloggy intro that they never updated

#

but such is life

abstract sequoia
#

pretty much

#

other hoyo games also suffered the same fate

#

they aren't really good with that

#

from gi to zzz

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

many people started because of part 2 too

restive jewel
restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

they did upgrade the engine with p2's release, affecting every previous game content too

#

as for how interested people are between p1 and p2, it's a hot debate honestly

restive jewel
#

i wonder if they’ll ever going to upgrade the early chapters of p1 too,they really need that

abstract sequoia
#

reburn used to be an early p1 update

#

although that happened very early into p1 still

#

lets just say, stages used to be even more grindy and a lot..

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

later p2 needs p1 context to fully understand

#

so you can't really skip p1 completely without being confused

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

the dailies got taken care of to be fair

#

LITE for whatever highest lvl stage has all objectives completed

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

they don't

#

i can't really say more without falling into spoiler territory

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

so if you want to know more and don't mind spoilers, ask #📚honkai-lore

restive jewel
#

the expedition thought is a whole different story

#

;-;

abstract sequoia
#

or do play them and be mindful of "evasion" and "ult" objectives

#

or the worst of all: hit count

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

it's a lore related channel

#

feel free to ask, also say what your current knowledge is if you do mind spoilers

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

to speedrun expeditions on new accounts

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

the problem is just that they oneshot everything, making the completion of some objectives difficult

#

and you need all 3 to unlock auto on that expedition

#

yes hit count is easy

#

i mean just have an unleveled b rank valk as 3rd slot or something

serene crystal
#

Having some lvl 1 valks to hit the conditions is generally a good idea

abstract sequoia
#

mhm

restive jewel
#

what i definitely hate the most,is the complexity of crafting stigmas,i can’t even craft the simpler ones,they’re so grinding,even with lite,i can’t just skip it either

abstract sequoia
#

oh yeah be mindful of those objectives too in p1 story, one gives 5 crystals

#

which adds up fast

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

however the worst sre still exchange shop stigs

serene crystal
#

Starting manual generally helps a lot on the early stigmata grind and after that it doesn't matter anymore

abstract sequoia
#

some are still recommended for memorial arena

restive jewel
restive jewel
restive jewel
abstract sequoia
restive jewel
#

i really do like honkai,but the grinding part genuinely ruins the experience for me

#

there’s too many things to remember

abstract sequoia
#

otherwise the stig grind was always kinda what it is

#

unless you pulled the same stigs on release

serene crystal
#

Old game and slow accumulation of different resources means you end up with a lot of resources which sometimes matter but often aren't really important

restive jewel
#

at least what i do like about crafting stigmas,is that the newer ones are way easier to craft than those older stigmas

restive jewel
abstract sequoia
#

g1 stigs need them and you usually farm those for resonance farming

#

although theyre stupidly cheap anyway

#

the honkai pieces that is not the stigs

#

g1 mirage mats are still time consuming to farm

slim blaze
#

Man

#

G1 no LITE

serene crystal
#

Yes they fixed the grind by excluding new gear from the grind not be reforming the grind wholesale

abstract sequoia
slim blaze
#

6 times

abstract sequoia
#

just double evade with rita in lighting g1

slim blaze
#

Oh wait

#

Loading screen x 10

abstract sequoia
#

for context, kallen pledge is one of the cheapest sets

#

which needs lightning g1

#

the most expensive resource will be ether fuel that you end up burning

abstract sequoia
#

loads fast enough for me even on mobile

#

but yeah no loading screen would be better

slim blaze

Hey guys should I take vita and Kiana baldum at this point, these girls look gorgeously

midnight shoal
#

What is sakura samsara? How do i play this gamemode?

lone crater
#

one of maps in open world

#

new accounts are stuck to apho 1 apparently

#

so u have to finish that first to a certain extent or something first

abstract sequoia
#

From "Account Progression Pointers"

APHO Open World unlocks at level 40 since 7.3 ... Sakura Samsara and Schicksal HQ unlock at level 50

lone crater
#

they changed stuff around i see

abstract sequoia
#

p2 changed a lot yeah

#

when voyage log came out, chronicles were also pushed back to level 30

#

along with voyage

#

i actually discovered that recently

abstract sequoia
#

on top of the story, there will be open world tasks that give materials on completion

#

you're able to do 5 of these 3 times a week. Monday, Thursday and Saturday

#

a huge stamina sink, but you will level up that specific open world which improve your rewards too. In sakura samara and schicksal hq you also unlock milestone missions every now and then that give additional crystals

smoky nebula
#

my account already limit break also

sturdy galleon
#

He one question, are her buffs stackable? With that i mean, if i stack 5 red paints, will i deal 100% increased damage to unshielded enemies?

smoky nebula
#

i spent all the crystal before leaving this game

serene crystal
#

That smells a lot like waiting for next patch. How are you on one time crystals? See pins for a list

quick birch
serene crystal
#

Focus on completing the missions for Lunar vow.
For Abyss you don't want to pull without being able to guarantee weapon

smoky nebula
#

but okay

serene crystal
#

Only weapon matters since stigs are craftable and yes without spending you can't really afford more then the new patch valk + weapon each patch, but that is decently affordable even without spending as you probably need to skip every fifth patch or something similar

sturdy galleon
smoky nebula
#

this game became f2p when

serene crystal
#

They did a big revamp at around the start of part 2 and I haven't had issues keeping up with RL, Nirv bounce without spending

quick birch
# sturdy galleon i thought that referred to the general mixing buff lol

Unless you're referring to something different that I am there's no general mixing buff, the lines says "gain the corresponding mixing buff for 20s ( refreshes upon gaining it again ) " but sometimes the kits can be a bit unclearer than this or complicated so feel free to ask any questions about kits

quick birch
#

I actually quite enjoy reading skills so I should be able to help with common wording patterns etc.

midnight shoal
abstract sequoia
#

there is a globe symbol in the apho menus

#

from there you can swap open worlds

#

kinda annoying but yeah you basically need to enter apho first on fresh accounts and even new installs of the game

#

before you can swap into the open world you want to do

smoky nebula

@serene crystal Can i ping you when i have something to ask ?

Just ask here and someone can answer, but I will try to answer when I have time if you ping me

topaz bay
#

I haven't started the second part of Honkai yet, but I wanted to know if there are any advantages outside of combat for getting an AstralOp. I was thinking of using 60 pulls to get Serapeum. Can she be used to explore areas or to put on the homescreen?

serene crystal
#

Only combat benefits

topaz bay
serene crystal
#

combat benefits are also very minimal before SS

quick birch
#

I want to emphasize that it has to be a p2 bridge so you can't put her on buyable P1 bridges like the train station for example

honest pilot
#

I understand that Fu Hua AE is no longer used as a P1 Valk, but what if I still wanted to use this unit as a DPS? Aside from Margrave and Oblivion Down, I have no clue how a team would be built. I've been using her with Sparkle, and it feels ok.

Any pointers on P1/P2 Valks would be great. FuHuaApprove

quick birch
frozen crypt
#

AE provides breach I use AE Sparkle CN

#

You just have to ult on AE as the first thing in the rot which feels unnatural but your rot will be fucked if you do not

#

Her best stigs are FoV's but you probably don't have them, Margrave won't really come close to it but better than nothing. It can probably clear low level content

#

Also keep in mind my AE is SSS

honest pilot
#

Thank you so much for the insights! Much appreciated ElysiaHeart

frozen crypt
#

Damn ur serious about this KianaSmug I like it

#

If u need any help with it ping me

#

Up until recently I was able to clear fire ganesha in nirvana which is (or at least was - they released some new ones that are much worse) notoriously one of the hardest side stages in the game. AE dps is genuinely pretty strong considering she was never designed to be a dps but obviously it's not gonna compare to more modern teams xD

#

Doubt she could be used seriously on bosses these days, more of a funny team to use for mobbing

#

It's awful in MA due to her complete reliance on the 90 starting sp to ult asap to start the rot

#

I also have qte on for AE dps

honest pilot
#

Had no clue it actually somewhat works, was mostly doing it for fun

All the more motivation

Universal Mirage

Hi Captain! AichanWave

See [here](#👶beginner-help message) For the Universal Mirage farming priority list!

Regarding Efficient Ether Fuel Farming (assumes you convert all stones into fuel):

F1: 10 per entry ticket + 0.6000 per 1 TSP
F2: 12 per entry ticket + 0.6333 per 1 TSP
F3: 12 per entry ticket + 0.6428 per 1 TSP
F4: 13 per entry ticket + 0.6500 per 1 TSP
F5: 15 per entry ticket + 0.6666 per 1 TSP
F6: 15 per entry ticket + 0.6700 per 1 TSP - (best efficiency!)
F7: 15 per entry ticket + 0.6600 per 1 TSP

If not using Time Swirl Passes (TSP), F5/6/7 are equal in efficiency.

i dont know if im just stupid, but i uderstand nothing said in that pinnged mesasge. What is pled of sakura? Oath of judah?

This is what i see when i open it

quick birch
#

They're in the foundry and you farm materials for the foundry in universal mirage

sturdy galleon
#

so i just do whatever of these 4?

quick birch
#

No not really, you'd wanna find pledge of Sakura first and do whatever material that weapon requires

sturdy galleon
#

oh ok i get it now

sturdy galleon
#

am i doing something wrong again?

quick birch
#

Nah that's the right place, for pledge of Sakura you need to craft the spirit weapon first and then craft the actual weapon so try to find both of those, then ether fuel ( the green thing ) is also obtained via universal mirage

sturdy galleon
quick birch

It's not like this channel is flooding with questions either so idm any questions really lmao

Welp im back. So i was sent this imgur with good starter builds and teams, but im REALLY enjoying using Reverist Calico, like a LOT. However the imgur only shows her with her base weapon. In the case i wanna use her further, what weapon should i get her?

#

Best pick there

sturdy galleon
#

i dont think ive gotten that so far

#

oh

#

nvm i knew i had heard that somewhere

#

oh i can get that soon! only 8 more pulls :D

shell basin
#

It’s under supply givaway

#

For her stigs ideally as a support you’d want like turg TB Mei M but those are expensive for marginal use so you’ll probably use Theresa gluttony T fu Hua musician Mb or rouald Amusen instead

shell basin
#

Yeah, she’s pretty old and was a support even when she was new

#

But she’s one of the better free supports

#

I still use her in MA sometimes

#

For beginners the most important free support is VBM but then RC is a solid tier 2 with TA and (sometimes, depends on who they have) VBS

sturdy galleon
#

damn, shes doing more damage than my herrscher somehow so i guess im doing something wrong lOL

shell basin
#

Well HoV is also super old

Significantly older than RC

Guys, is kevin ma boss is not for part 1 valks? I used hot, and she's barely deal any dmg to him. Am I going to lose my crystal BronyaDerpNggt

shell basin
#

Or HoO or trio

#

It’s not specifically P1 that doesn’t work

#

What does your roster look like?

wraith oasis
#

Mostly not built yet

#

I think I've made a mistake by breaking through lvl 81 AichanStare

shell basin
#

Does anyone have gear? It sounds a little cursed but maybe you could do HotR dps here

#

The lack of ice supports will suck for it tho given how barren the account is

#

Almost certainly gonna have to use buffed mode too

#

Probably would look like HotR AE and then seeing if you have the asterite for Ta or RC

#

And then maybe HoT on sampo?

wraith oasis
#

Oh, hot, ae & fischl are locked to kevin (wasted really)

#

I'm thinking of just chasing sampo or argent knight

#

Only for the crystal

shell basin
#

Argent knight doesn’t have crystals

#

So you can ignore her

#

I’m a bit worried you can’t clear sampo either and won’t get any crystals but might still manage if you go all in on Kevin

#

But it’s your call and I don’t even know if it would work

#

All I can advice is test it before locking more Valkyries

wraith oasis
#

This is my hor build

#

This is hotr, just got her yesterday

shell basin
#

Yeah no Valkyries and no gear

#

That’s rough fs

wraith oasis
#

Yea, i guess it's my fault breaking through when not prepared AichanStare

#

I can't even clear abyss now AichanLol

shell basin
#

I assume you’re attached to the account?

wraith oasis
#

Now my crystal is around 38k, so yea, is rerolling gonna be safe?

shell basin
#

If you have 38k crystals that’s a reason to stick with it

#

That’s enough to guarentee next patch

#

I was expecting you not to have any crystals and thus suggest a new one but 38k is more than I’d want to give up

#

I’d focus on building Valkyrie Blastmetal if I can. Her weapon is free in part 2 story and she’s a really strong generic support

#

Can probably help your part 1 teams even now and next patch you’ll really want her

wraith oasis
#

Okay, one of the professor here (i assume the one with the 'ssr' coloured name) suggest me to pull the sushang rerun? For investment for the new valk?

#

I still have tons of story content to clear, so I guess I can farm more. I'm at the chapter 26-28 i believe.

shell basin
#

Shushing is what you would pull if you were rerolling

#

Since that way she would be basically free

#

But if you’re not rerolling there’s no reason to

#

My suggestion would be
-||Priority 1: Pull Mei + Wep next patch. Worst case 40k crystals but probably significantly chesper||
-||Priority 2: Get Lunar Vow this patch and pull her dkey next patch. 60 pulls / 17k crystals for a full valkyrie that supports mei||
If you achieve those two you will have two mostly not cope teams and will easily shoot into agony 3 abyss

#

Your third priority would be
-||Grab either Badum or FDD from Carnival free pulls, but don’t pull their weapon. Paws would also be okay but a worse pull than those two. Only spend 20 free pulls, unless you end up with 20k crystals after dkey in which case we can talk||

#

Which would help but is less important than the first two

#

In the mean time while preparing for next patch you’ll could work on upgrading Valkyrie Blastmetal, especially getting her weapon from part 2 story if you haven’t yet and ranking her up. You can also see about getting Reverist Calico and Terminal Aide from the asterite shop with spare Asterite

p1 id do ult before weap ult cause after qte in u had 150sp
not sure about swapping to badum there for the ult wa but you can at least skip the wa there, since ely ba4 will pick it up
transition im not too sure
p1 SO is kinda late and overkill maybe do some evade mald or idk,

p2 id prob actually go for maybe a ba4 ult and then SO, given your dmg at the end there, just so you fit more stuff outside of the pink hp
btw your second so first ult charge was 5 stack not 7 stack

#

and yea there's a couple wa on badum didn't need to hit

#

that's prob the main things

# sturdy galleon cant i just exchange 1400 for 5 pulls 😭

I just want to add in, while CN has the ability to do this, it really isn't major in the grand scheme of things.

Unless you're skipping many many new releases, you don't ever accumulate too many blue or pink cards before you need to resort to crystals. Keep in mind income for f2p/light spenders isn't enough to afford every new release for meta purposes.

If you ever find a specific scenario where every roll matters and you need to ensure no excessive pulls in one banner so you can save more for another, you wouldn't be doing ten rolls. Some gacha games may offer a guarantee for doing a 10 roll at once, but this game isn't like that. There is a guaranteed higher rarity every 10 rolls but this can be reached with single rolling (just like in genshin).

You do need to watch the gacha animation every time when single rolling though.

sturdy galleon
#

but hey i just got Miss Espionage with a 10 pull! Im happy :)

spiral badge
#

congrats~

sturdy galleon
#

Now i just dont know what i have to do, i guess i look up a guide?

#

to see what she needs

spiral badge
#

did you get her weapon too?

sturdy galleon
spiral badge
#

if you want to know how to play her, the ingame tutorial via attack > events tab > tactics class can be an introduction to her moves and sequences

sturdy galleon
#

i used up all my luck getting Columbina Ineffa and Columbinas weapon in 64 pulls in genshin. So im guessing im going full pity on weapon

Astral Ring Specialization - Wheel of Destiny

Allow me to explain, Captain! AichanCool

[Click here](#👶beginner-help message) to see how the Wheel of Destiny Specialization works!

The "Wheel of Destiny" (WoD) ring type is distinguished by generating Phantoms as the character attacks in Stellar Outburst (SO). The tag/attribute that matches with this ring type is "Harmonized Shadow Star".

spiral badge
#

maybe this can help you further too

sturdy galleon
#

probably will because i was just reading it and thers so much text

spiral badge
#

i don't remember if i ever sent you the general astral ring guide though. If i don't lmk and i'll bring it up

#

the game is very guilty at vomiting terms at you so yeah

sturdy galleon
#

and i thought ZZZ was excessive lol

spiral badge
#

you might not be able to use rita to her full potential yet when your roster is lacking more gacha astral ring valks but over time things will come together

sturdy galleon
#

i hope so, rn i just needed a decent character for the 2nd boss of memorial

#

i have been using calico as dps on it haha

spiral badge
#

although i want to say rita gameplay wise doesn't actually suffer too badly without proper supports? She should still be able to perform all her desired attacks within 7 seconds of rondo. But damage wise don't expect anything standard for now

sturdy galleon
#

my current roster, rn im also getting terminal through frags soon

spiral badge
#

yeah keep at it. VBm is your highest priority though

#

!faq fhm

small willowBOT

yea

sturdy galleon
#

what rank should i get her to? i think i read SS somewhere but ive lost track of all these guides LOL

spiral badge
#

With enough time, SSS

sturdy galleon
spiral badge
#

she's top priority over everyone else in the asterite shop because she's widely useful

#

i don't remember how important each of her ranks are tbh but even a small amount can be significant in hi3 when you later compete against others

sturdy galleon
#

i lowk used her trial version on the story and had no clue what she does, is she supposed to be a supp?

spiral badge
#

mainly a support yes. Although very early players may still use her as a dps. Astral ring valks are multifunctional like that

sturdy galleon
spiral badge
#

She doesn't work with ME at a core level, but she still can provide her support effects, and partial benefits to ME (activate leader skills)

Astral Ring and Specializations

Allow me to explain, Captain! AichanCool

Click here to view a list of Astral Ring Specializations, Tags, and the Valkyries protected by them!

Characters under the Astral Ring System will have one ring type (Specialization), and one or multiple tags (Attributes) that will determine how they can form teams. This system is only activated if a Character with Astral Ring is set as the leader. When activated:

  • the leader's ring type will decide the team's playstyle.
  • the team will benefit from effects (e.g., Stigmata buffs) that require Astral Ring.
  • the team will gain access to Stellar Outburst, a high damage output state you can enter after charging enough energy (Astral Ring Intensity).

For information on each Astral Ring Specialization:
